Chapter 446
Reign was enraged!
She glared at Buckminster and shouted, “You bastard! I’ve told you before, if you have any grievances, come at me. Why did you shoot others?”
The reason why she stepped forward bravely was because she did not want to implicate innocent people.
She didn’t expect that the situation would escalate to this point. Innocent people had lost their lives because of her.
“Ms. Labenz, have you forgotten your situation?”
Buckminster’s smile turned gentle and amiable as he said, “Now I am the one in control here. I can kill whoever I want, and you have no right to intervene, let alone dictate any of my actions.
Just like what I’m going to do now. Fletcher, attack.
As soon as Buckminster finished speaking, Fletcher picked up his gun, aimed it at a foreign man in the distance, and pulled the trigger.
With a gunshot, the foreign man’s forehead split open, and he fell into a pool of blood.
Fletcher grinned like a demon and said, “Ms. Labenz, are you satisfied with this result?”
Then, he raised his gun and pointed it at Reign. With a sinister smile, he said, “If you lose the game, I promise to shoot a bloody hole in your beautiful face as well.
Reign had an intense and unpleasant expression on her face. She glanced at Fletcher briefly before turning her gaze back to Buckminster. She spoke coldly, “Mr. Payne, if you want to play a dangerous game with us and have our money, I will wager all of my assets against you.
“But I want to add one condition to the wager.”
“Alright, go ahead.” Buckminster was suddenly interested.
Reign pointed at Fletcher and said sternly, “If I lose, all my assets will belong to you. I will also be at your disposal.
“But if I win, I want you to kill this man.”
“Damn bitch, what did you say? You dare to bet on my life? I can shoot you in the face right now!” Fletcher retorted angrily. “Are you so eager to kill me because you’re afraid of losing to me?” Reign said coldly.
“What a joke. Why would I be afraid of someone like you?”
“Then do you dare to sit down and play with me? Reign revealed a faint smile and looked at Fletcher.
“I can kill you now. Do I need to risk my life with you?”
Fletcher stared coldly at Reign. He even aimed his gun at Reign, radiating a murderous intent.
“What can you do besides using guns and violence to kill people? You don’t even have the courage to sit down and play a game with me. What kind of man are you?” Reign remained unfazed.
Seeing this scene, Josef, Eden, Sharvin, and the others were all stunned.
In such a situation, Reign displayed such audacity and challenged Fletcher to a life-or-death gamble. Her courage and determination were truly awe-inspiring.
“Hahaha.”
Buckminster burst into laughter and praised, “Ms. Labenz, you truly live up to your reputation. A woman who surpasses men, I’m impressed!
“Even as a woman, Ms. Labenz has displayed such courage and determination. Fletcher, she has issued a challenge to you. If you don’t respond, it would be quite disgraceful, right?”
“Alright. Since you’re seeking death, I’ll play with you. How could I possibly fear a woman?” Fletcher kept his gun. His gaze turned cold as he sat down next to Buckminster.
“Very well, let’s begin then, Fletcher. Deal the cards,” Buckminster said.
Fletcher picked up the deck of playing cards, gave them a quick shuffle, and prepared to deal the cards to Reign and Buckminster.
At this moment, Sharvin stood up and said, “Mr. Payne, Ms. Labenz, you guys are having so much fun. I’m excited to see you guys, and I want to play too. Is that okay?”
Swoosh!
As soon as he stood up, everyone’s eyes fell on him.

Chapter 446
“You’re the loyal and righteous Sharvin Lewton. Alright, Mr. Lewton, please take a seat,” Buckminster said.
Sharvin approached the gambling table and took a seat next to Reign. He said, “Like Ms. Labenz, I also have one condition.”
“You want to kill me too?” Fletcher’s gaze turned cold.
“No, no, no. Mr. Yuler, you have misunderstood. I have no ill intentions toward you. My condition is also quite simple. If Ms. Labenz loses, I am willing to use all my assets to buy her life,” Sharvin said.
Reign could not help but turn to look at Sharvin in shock.
She never thought that Sharvin would stand up to protect her at this moment.
“Oh, it seems you’re going for a hero’s rescue.” Buckminster chuckled.
“I just don’t want a beautiful woman like Ms. Labenz to die in your hands,” Sharvin said.
“Hahaha.”
Fletcher burst into laughter, displaying his arrogance. “Good, Mr. Lewton, I’ll gamble with you. Once you lose, I will publicly humiliate this woman you like so much in front of everyone!”
“Well, that remains to be seen once you actually win,” Reign said coldly.
As she spoke, she glanced at her hiding place from the corner of her eye. After discovering that Xander and Sybil had disappeared, she became even more confident.
As long as Xander notified Haylan, Reign was confident she could survive. She might even be able to catch all these ferocious mercenaries in one fell swoop.
Buckminster’s laughter grew even louder, and he said casually, “Very well, since both of you are in such high spirits, the Bloody Devil will gladly accompany you to the end.”
“Come, Fletcher, deal the cards!”
Fletcher picked up the poker cards in his hand and prepared to deal
“Wait!” Reign suddenly said.
“What do you want now?” Fletcher raged.
“You guys are very powerful, and I suspect you might cheat during the card shuffling. Let me take charge as the banker and deal the cards myself” Reign said.
Fletcher’s gaze turned even colder as he glared at Reign.
“Fletcher, we have to win fair and square. Give the card to Ms. Labenz Buckminster said confidently.
Without hesitation, Fletcher immediately threw the deck of cards in front of Reign and said coldly, “So what if you’re the banker? Do you think you can win?”
“If I don’t try, who knows? It’s better to have my fate in my own hands than yours, right?”
Glancing at them, Reign picked up the deck of cards and casually cut and shuffled them. She recalled the techniques Haylan taught her, and her hand movements began to change accordingly.
“You’ve got some skills, but it’s not much,” Fletcher sneered.
Although Reign possessed some skills, in his eyes, those skills were nothing.
Fletcher could clearly see all of Reign’s small movements.
He could even remember the cards that Reign had shuffled clearly in his mind.
It was impossible for Reign to win him.
After finishing shuffling the cards. Reign began dealing cards to Sharvin, Buckminster, and Fletcher. Once the dealing was complete, she placed the deck of cards on the table and said, “Everyone, please take a look at your hole cards.”
“No need to look. I’ll just reveal my cards.”
Fletcher flipped over his two cards, revealing a pair of Kings.
“Me too.”
